• Code_for_America abstract "Code for America is a non-partisan, non-political 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2009 to address the widening gap between the public and private sectors in their effective use of technology and design. The organization began by enlisting technology and design professionals to work with city governments in the United States in order to build open-source applications and promote openness, participation, and efficiency in government, and has grown into a cross-sector network of practitioners of civic innovation and a platform for "civic hacking."Through five programs, Code for America helps government work more like the Internet. The largest program by numbers is the Brigade, which comprises local groups of civic hackers and other community volunteers who meet regularly to support the technology, design, and open data efforts of their local governments. Over 5,000 people in the US are involved in a Code for America Brigade. Through the Fellowship program, small teams of developers and designers work with a city, county or state government for a year, building open source apps and helping spread awareness of how contemporary technology works among the government workforce and leadership. Through the Accelerator, Code for America provides seed funding, office space, and mentorship to civic startups. Code for America also runs a Peer Network for innovators in local government. Lastly, Code for All (part of Code for America) organizes similar efforts outside the US, particularly Brigades and fellowship programs in countries around the world.The Washington Post described Code for America as "the technology world’s equivalent of the Peace Corps or Teach for America." The article goes on to say, "They bring fresh blood to the solution process, deliver agile coding and software development skills, and frequently offer new perspectives on the latest technology — something that is often sorely lacking from municipal government IT programs. This is a win-win for cities that need help and for technologists that want to give back and contribute to lower government costs and the delivery of improved government service." The New York Times described Code for America as “a new nonprofit project... which aims to import the efficiency of the Web into government infrastructures” and “[tries] to make working in government fun and creative.”".
